Question

I can#t find where GRACE COX d Oct.1998 Brooklyn New York is buried. Not on Find a Grave Index.

Comments

Is Cox her married or maiden name? Sometimes the "Find A Grave" is listed under maiden name or married name but not both.

Thanks Sandra, I will try under both names.

Answer 1

Find-A-Grave may not have recent burials like hers. Do you have an obituary that identifies a funeral home or a church/synagogue? They might be able to give you information about the cemetery.

Thanks Charles, will have to get the death certificate.

Answer 3

• An obituary may provide this information. I didn't find one on Genealogy Bank or Newspapers.com
• Her death certificate would definitely have the information. They can be obtained, usually from the place a person died
• Two of the Brooklyn cemeteries have databases. http://www.green-wood.com/ and http://www.theevergreenscemetery.com/
• If she was Catholic you might try http://www.ccbklyn.org/
